We All Make Mistakes

For God's sake, we all make mistakes We all commit inmumerable errors Nobody is perfect, everybody is under the sticks Like the old days in the school of horrors Where students are mistreated or beat with wires With sticks, belts, whips, rigoises, batons and fires Because they burn your skin when you get hit It is a shame that kids got punished out of hate Love never hurts, love triggers hope and success Sometimes, we find ourselves in a mega mess. We all make mistakes. Let's forgive and forget Let's continue to move and pay the musty debt To society. Apologies do not heal old internal Wounds, but they help soothing the past blows We all make mistakes. We must not be in denial However, we must fight for better tomorrows When we have thick skin, the sky is not the limit There is a bright light and hope after every defeat.
